Burgess has ruled out any chance of the telecommunications giant

moonshine".

that is in the cards," Dr Burgess told an Australia-Israel Chamber of
Commerce luncheon in Sydney on Wednesday.
"It's not going to happen because in the US we call it economic
moonshine, a kind of bogus whisky that the hillbillies drink. It's crazy.
